THE MORNING LAND.
Where the Weary soul of Patient sufferer
Found Eternal Rest.

Found Eternal Rest.
When but mere child On the planta-
ton he heard the old folks telling OF
the Morning Land-a far-away place
where sOrrOw and trouble were UNI
known-whcre night never came
where humanity rolled of It's burdens
never to take them up again. He tie
tcrmined that when he crew Older he
would set out in search of the Paradise
which had been 81 graphically pictured.
When he had older grown he started
on his Journey, but he grew hungry and
weary and footsore, and men ridiculed
him and said:
There is no Morning Land. You
are searching for a myth.
While he abandoned the search for
awhile his convictions a. child could
not be shaken, and he whispered to
himself:
perhaps am not old enough. or L
nave taken the wrong direction. VIII

Sickness and trouble and danger
came To- him as he waited. Men argued
with and ridiculcd him. They Scotfed
at the idea OF the land of rest and
peace. but deep down in his own heart
he felt the conviction that there must
be, and IL his burdens of life increased
the somewhat felt that the Morning
Land had come nearer to him. Poor,
ignorant and lowly, he cherished the
thought Us Il prisoner for life loves the
sunbeam which enters his barred WIN
dow to whisper To him of the doinSs OK
the great world beyond.
Once. when sickness and poverty had
almost weighted him down, and MS
troubles seemed greater than he could
bear, he wavered for q moment IN his
belief He had searched long but vain
" for the path. He was afraid he must
die without finding it. But ii was only
for 4 moment Then he remembered
the words of gray-haired eXhOrter,
spoken fifty years before:
You may iiev tn wait an wait, but
Yer reward shall be all de greater. In
dat Mornin' Land de weary shall be Ut
rest.
When be had become old and weak
blindness fell upon him, and many
times his sightie>s eyes filled with tears

One summers evening Us he sat at

amidst his troubles, he SObbed and

cried out to the wondering children at

The Rev. Henry Mathews.

This good friend and brother has left us for
n better world. The Rev. Samuel McLana-
han, who knew him well, pays the following
tribute to his memory:
Where he was born, there he died. At the
late residence of his father, James Is. Math-
ews, Glenwood Howard county, Md, the
Rev. Henry Mathews passed away on Satur-
day evening last. Although he had been a
sufferer for years from an affection OF the
heart, and had been slightly indsposed for
few days preceding his death, even those
about him did not anticipate any fatal result
until n few hours before his decease.
Mr.. Mathews was one of n family of twelve
children, who, with their parents, were ex-
empt from the ravages ofdeath for more than
fifty years About four years ago break
came in the death ofthe mother ofthe family;
then followed a brother; about three weeks
ago the father, aged ninety-fve years, en-
tered into rest, and now the fourth member
of the family has been called away.
Henry Mathews was converted when he
was about twelve years Of age, and his ap-
pearance and his earnestness, as he made
confession of that fact in n public meeting,
vet remains fresh in the memory OF some
who witnessed 1t. His preparatory education
was chiefly received in Benjamin Hallowells
school, Alexandria, Va. He studied theology
at Union Seminary, New York. His first
regular charge was Shepherdstown, West
Virginia, where he was pastor for seven
years, and where he married Hannah Van
Swearingen, in June, 1855.
He was installed pastor ut Elllton, Md, in
1860, and served that church for twelve years
He then returned for a short time to supply
the Mt Paran and Granite churches, where,
in the beginning of his ministry, he had Ia
bored for a little while.
Elected agent of the Maryland Tract Soce-
ty, he served in that capacity six years Dur
ing this period he was largely instrumental
in the establishment of The church at Hamp-
den. Later he was employed 10y the Presby-
terrain Association of Baltimore IN securing
funds for the building Of Faith church.
Clear in his views, sound in judgment, de-
cided in his convictions, and most conscien-
tious in action, he commanded the respect OF
all who knew him. Humble, modest. gentle.
kind, to a remarkable degree, he won, as
well, 1.-The warm affection OF all who came
within the sphere OF his influence. lie car
ried about in his very face and manner the
evidence ofhis goodness.
Aware as he was Of the nature Of his dis
ease, and living face to face with the posi-
bility of sudden death for years, he seemed
to have been delivered through Jesus from
the fear OF death. While we must sorrow for
the Church OF Christ, for the bereaved rela-
tlves and most of all for the companion Of his
life left alone ir her widowhood. we can not
but rejoice for him.
Funeral services were held at Glenwood
on Monday afternoon, conducted by the Rev.
+. p. Flournoy, of the Southern Presbyterian
church, and the Rev. Samuel McLanahan, of
Lafayette square church.
Mr. Mathews remains were inferred at
Shepherdstown on Tuesday afternoon

Serious Accideni.-The Me


dist Protestant church building at MIDI
dleway, this county, is being torn down,
preparatory to the erection of new
structure. While the work was in
progress last Friday terrible accident
occurred. which might have caused
death to seven men. The roof was torn
off, and three inexperienced men were
on the joists on top of the ceiling in the
upper half story, tearing away the
joists, when the ceiling gave wav, let
ting the men fall to the lower floor, 10
feet, with ceiling, bricks, ETC., falling
on them. Messrs. Randolph Anderson
and w. B. Brinning were hurt serious
ly, the former having one limb mane led
in terrible condition and torn up in
such a manner that there is 10 hope for
his recovery. The gallery or other half
OF the top yet remained ana some men,
four in number, thought it could be re-
moved without further injury, and
placed props underneath and went to
work, they thought, in safety, wheE it
fell in likewise, leaving some of them
unconscious. They were taken home
and their wounds dressed. Several of
them are lying very i'll. A carpenter
was then sent for, which should have
been done before, and the rest of the
building removed without further in

confined him to his home, and latterly
to his bed, suffering often the most in

extend our sympathy TO them in the loss
of Il dearly loved sister.
Mr.. Charles T. Chapline, of Washing

ment in the death of his young and inter-
esting wife, which occurred on July
10Th. Mrs. Chapline, whose maiden
name was Miss Maggie Mcdonald, was
sick only from o'clock in the afternoon
until about half-past II the same night,
her death being the result of an att@ck
of cholera morhus. The remains were
taken to Minersville, Pa, the former
home of the deceased, for interment.
Mrs. Chaplinc was in the 23d year OF
her age. The sympathy of the eommu-
nifty is extended to the husband who
has been so suddenly and so sadly bereft
of his wife.

Editor of the RegiSter.-In looking over your
paper for the past few weeks, We have noticed
and are glad to see greater interest taken
in our public schools than has been done
heretofore. We see that the money expend-
ed in holding county institutes for the in
struction of the teachers has not been thrown
away. as is sometimes the case, but that the
teachers have, by their presence and assist
ance, made the institute, what it should be, a
week of solid instruction, which will benefit
both themselves and their pupils throughout
the next school term. Another thing we are
glad to note is the fact that the Board OF
Education OF Shepherdstown district has seen
fit TO pay just amount OF money to teach
ers for their work. No No. teacher with
No. certificate ought TO be expected TO take
charge of school, bear the burden and
assume the responsibility, for less than $40
per month. This is about fair salary, and
although the tax payers should not grumole
at this, we do think it is enough, and the
Board of Education should stop there and let
well enough alone. One thing the writer OF
this article can't understand, is why'a No.
teacher teaching on No. certificate, should
be worth $50 per month (or $50 for nine
months) in Shepherdstown, where the school
can be and is graded on account OF more reg
ular attendance, where the school building
is easier to get to, thus making the work
more pleasant and easier, than il is in the
country, and No. teacher in the country,
should be worth only $40 per month for his
or her services The country teacher is under
the same requirements of law, has perhaps
three or four miles to travel morning and
evening, thus making extra expense and
more disagreeabe work He has as much
and as difficult work to do as in any room in
the Graded School of Shepheristown. We are
very certain If he had his choice he would,
for the same money, sooner teach in town
than in the country. OF course Mr.. Banks.
as Principal of the Graded School, with extra
duties and the whole responsibility upon his
shoulders, should be paid good salary for
his services and every just man sees that
this is right. But we think it is entirely
wrong to discriminate between the other
teachers Of the Graded School and the teach
ers of the same class in the country. Why
one should be paid $50 and the other $40 per
month for the same work is something we
can't understand, and looks as though Mr..
Cleveland would do well to send our district
some of that wonderful Interstate Com
merce" medicine which is said TO heal al
wounds caused by unjust discrimination"

and dislOcatiug his thumb. His legs
were very much bruised, but no bones
broken. and he was up town on horse
back within a few hours of the accident.
This ought TO serve as warning to per-

danger in the attempt, bu: he failed TO

The Beginning Of the End.

The beginning OF disease is n slight debility
or disorder OF some OF the vital organs, the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually.
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver Is
troublesome, the skin grows tawny and I'M
healthy looking, there are pains in the right
side or through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prostratiOn OF the
physical energies, perhaps a fatal issue. But
ifthe difficulty is met In time with Hostetter ;
stomach Bitters, which is always effective as
a remedy, and IL should be resCrted To at an
early stage. there will be no reason TO appre-
bend those injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often entailed by entirely cured
diseases. Far better is IL, also, TO employ this
safe malarial agent in fever and ague, and
other malarial complaints, than quintne and
and other potent drugs, which, even when
they do prove efiectual for time, ruin the
stomach and impair the general health.
